I bought Masterpiece Rodimus Prime yesterday but I'm not sure I'm keeping him. I'm going to open Kup and transform him into a robot to see if I can live with the differences in proportions.

RODIMUS PRIME (not Hot Rod - but the MP transforms into both robots) is larger than Kup (who was the same size as Hot Rod).

If I can pose Kup as an old man (like Jetfire in ROTF) - this could work. I want to own MP Rodimus Prime, however, I am running out of display space and I want toys that display WITH one another well.

A MP Cyclonus (or Leader Class) would be perfect for them to come out with in the future (Galvatron, Scourge, and Ultra Magnus and Springer as well, obviously). These could all be large 'bots. Kup, Blur, and Arcee will never work larger than the current Deluxe size. A good Wreck-Gar for me would be Scout Class or Cyberverse size.

BAD Pts Need:R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.

This is the first time I've done the complete trip since I moved to Culver City. WM isn't close enough to TRU West LA, but I should have taken the freeway from La Brea to La Cienega, I goofed there. WM is the only real downpoint in the trip, that place is a stye.

I don't have most of my figures out, but I do actually have Kup. I don't think they work together at all, here's a couple horrible shots I just took of MP OP, Hot Rod (who is only around half an inch shorter than the RP mode) and Kup:

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Forgot to mention, TRU West LA had in the aisle of stuff nobody exactly wants (Minimates, video game figures, Heroes, Mario Kart junk, Batman The Dark Knight figures that will NEVER SELL) they had the new Thundercats products, but not basic figures, just Deluxe figures, vehicles, and Role Play. The deluxe figures look like garbage, and Mumm-ra is super fat. The vehicles remind me of the late '80s when any cartoon would have generic, bland vehicles just so they could have something in a box on the toy aisle, the 2 bikes are that sort of thing. The Thundertank actually looks decent, but small (well, I mean, it's got Snarf as the activation for the cockpit electronics, so it can't be that big). There are 2 small role-play items, the gauntlet and sword of omens with some but not all necessary features, both seem a tad underwhelming. The 1 big role-play item is $20, the Sword of Omens with full features - hold down the trigger and it keeps saying "thunder" over and over but in the exact same tone which is odd, letting go then engages "thundercats Hoooooo!!!!" no matter if it's in the middle of a "thunder" or not, so it doesn't quite work, and I'd much rather have Larry "the original Lion-o" Kenney than who they got (it's probably the new Lion-o, but it doesn't sound quite right).

Kota Hatchling, found it at Ross for $7 a couple weeks ago and I liked that series of toys, so I figured what the heck. Unfortunately, its sounds remind me a little of my late cat, so I can't really enjoy it. :downer:

TRU Redlands had the Skystriker. I passed for now. That 20% off coupon expires Sunday, and I'd really rather use it for Rodimus Prime. If he's not around within the next two days, that Skystriker will be mine. Oyes.

I've seen absolutely no Thundercats anything in the IE... aside from a single-disc (I think) best-of DVD from the first show.
